Hi all, been a while since iv posted here.

In a nutshell im running a haltech e11v2 piggybacked onto the stock ecu (was to run auto) and basically something is giving noise to the ecu via the temp sensor, it can vary up to 30 degrees cycling as often as every half second or so. This causes big idle problems from shutting off to blowing smoke etc. Iv tried running both the wires separately (not both at the same time) to the ecu and the noise is still there.

Iv not been able to find anything out there with anyone having the same problem. Iv also tried a different sensor. The feed is getting 4.88V and the other is shared ground with the tps. That of which also gives me problems time to time. The noise is only there whilst engine is going and its not relative fluctuations to RPM.

Any pointers would be appreciated! cheers.

Hey mate, have no idea about your exact problem but I do similar work on large mining gear.

Does the feed stay stable when unplugged and engine running? Checking across the pins and also feed to ground, are there any fluctuations. With it unplugged does the ecu show a fault or just a random number (ie -30)

Does it fault at all temps or only cold/hot?

Thanks for the reply,

the feed is stable with ignition but not whilst engine is running. Hot and cold doesnt matter basically the same thing. Only its worse under 70 degrees because its fluctuating cold start curcuit.

I cant disconnect it as its resistance based, if I unplug it it goes to -60 or something, which instantly kills the engine. Im going to try earth the sensor to battery but not sure if that will work.

Id kick off the alternator belt next incase it's done a diode and has a slightly erratic voltage output. And double check ecu voltage for stability.

Have you done any recent welding on the car?

Probe the TPS to see if it is doing bullshit to the voltage on the common earth?

I have swapped the alternator to one with half the kms, and no welding for a long time before this began. It literally happened after being parked for 5 days.

I have run wires directly from ecu to sensor to no resolve. Im thinking of going straight from the ground on the sensor to the negative terminal on battery to rule out poor earth feed?

An GTSBoy, the tps is also brand new haha originally it was my only issue. Itd just lose the zero setting and try to idle out of the base map

Maybe give main chassis earths a clean too, I'd check from batt neg to sensor neg and see if it's 0v. If so I can't see it hurting earthing out the sensor to check

Yeah iv checked it all, and made a big 35 square cable for engine earth too

Does the problem change with tps disconnected? Same pulsing?

I cant unplug it or it dies lol. needs the reading to go into zero throttle idle map.

Ill have a play later in the week when I get a chance lol

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
